    I am finally going to bite the bullet and get some hosting for my professional portfolio website! I will need to register the domain through the host as I have none right now. Bandwidth and storage ... I wouldn't need a lot of storage. Bandwidth I imagine wouldn't be a lot either. Maybe 10 pages of content, some screencaptures.

    Some requirements
    - Email
    - Domain Name Registration
    - Ability to run wordpress
    - subdomains

    Any suggestions? Remember I'm a broke college student

    I've used Dreamhost for years now ( Disclaimer: that link has my referral number in it. If you do go Dreamhost, I'd be very happy if you used that link ;) ). I've been very happy with their service... very smart, very good service, lots of easy templates to get things up and running. I highly recommend them. They aren't the absolute cheapest place you can find, but they provide more value for the money than anyone else I have looked at, and they're still a reasonable $9 or so a month.

    Lunarpages $4.95 a month, includes domain name registration free

    Fantastico scripts installs wordpress for you if you don't know how to do it manually.

    Pretty reliable.

    They have a $2.95 per month plan, but I do not know if it will meet your needs.
